In order to see a relationship between gleason scores on histopathology and PSA levels, group of 200 men were studied which included obtaining there cumulative Gleason score and serum PSA levels before surgical intervention. Two groups were obtained, 178 cases with high (6-10) and 22 with low (2-5) Gleason score. Mean S.PSA levels in patients with high gleason score was 128ng/ml (normal range 0 to 5) and mean PSA levels for patients with low scores was 25ng/ml. The group with high gleason score showed greater increase in serum PSA levels than lower gleason score.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
